Providing your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from your W-2 allows us to identify the easiest way for you to enter your W-2 form (you also need it to e-file).
The best place to look is in Box b of your W-2 form, located right above or below your employer's name and address.
Your EIN will be a 9-digit number with a dash after the second digit (example: 00-0000000). Keep in mind, an EIN is not the same thing as an Employer’s State ID number or your Employee Number.
If you don’t have your W-2 yet you should wait until you get it, your employer is required to send W-2s by January 31. If you haven't received your W-2 by February 14, we can help you figure out what to do next.
Also, check to see if it was delivered electronically. Some companies provide digital W-2s either by email or through their own online system.

The EIN would be on the W-2 the employer sent you which you need to attach to the mailed in 2020 return since you cannot efile it any longer. Get replacement copies from them.
If all you have is the IRS transcript (which only has the last 4 numbers on it) then aside from your mailing in those copies with the return you can use ANY 9 digits in the program to get by the error messages. They don't need to be correct since you cannot efile the return anyway.
If you transfer this info into the 2021 program later make sure to enter the CORRECT EIN numbers at that time if you still work for those employers.
